Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Chamomile is a known abortfacient. Catnip can cause headaches. Ginseng can cause headache, insomnia, nausea. Red clover can cause allergic reactions. However, only chamomile could threaten the pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: The nurse should first assess the client and provide any needed care. Once the client is cared for, the nurse should complete an incident report, because the client was found on the floor. While it is possible the client chose to sit on the floor, it is not likely; an incident report would be the safest action to take, and will cause no harm if the client indeed chose to sit on the floor. Answer option 1 is incorrect because it requires the client to remain on the floor, possibly injured, and there is no need for a witness. Option 3 is incorrect because the nurse should document objectively, and did not witness the client fall out of bed. The correct wording would be Client found sitting on floor, denies falling. Option 4 is not acceptable, because of the high likelihood that the client might have fallen. Completing an incident report will not cause a problem if the client did not actually fall, and can be important if problems arise later.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
